Question for HamRad or other HAM

Hi,

As a Ham radio operator, I'm guessing you know a bit about radio antennas. Can you tell me if a car radio antenna can be used to improve the reception of a conventional 110v radio such as the RCA stereo in my Montana?

Thanks for your input.

I can reply to that question. The stereo you have in the trailer should have an antenna on it. It is a plactic covered (usually clear plastic) copper wire antenna. If you hold it outstretched it is the shape of a T. The problem lies in stretching it out in the trailer behind the stereo. you will have to cut holes in the cabinets and run the antenna through them to stretch it out to its fullest giving you the full use of its potenial.
You could purchase a radio shack FM antenna that would sit on a table or maybe in the cabinet. I looks like the old rabbit ears for televisions.
